Hi guys, I got this on my hands late last year and wasted the first few months with GP's and a dermatologist using steriod creams that I'm sure made it worse and was told it was not food intolerance but a nickel allergy.

Hi Graeme, Have you been tested for intolerances? I recently went to a Natruopath after dealing with bad hand eczema and found out I am intolerant to quite a few things in my diet. I am in the process of avoiding all the triggers and it's still there but no where near as angry as I've had it. He als...

Hi, I would go to a natruopath and get him tested for intolerances (food and others), food intolerances don't just show up as eczema around the mouth (I had it all over my hands). It's taken me 6 months to get anywhere with my eczema and alot of that time was wasted with GP's and dermatologist visit...

I also got in to see a naturapath and he did allergy testing using a wired device that measures your intolerance from your hands using a computer. It's ...

I forgot to mention that this eczema started out on my finger within 1 week of having omeprazole tablets for heartburn which I was on f...

Thanks Andrea, I actually went and tried acupunture 2 days ago for the first time and they arn't looking too bad. I also have to cook chinese hearbs and drink them twice a day for 10 days then go back for a revisit. My dad suggested acupuncutre as I am willing to try anything, I ended up having to g...
